dad told me to get rid of mirrors

you'd think
that one day god would get it
torture a man enough
he will tell you
whatever he thinks
you want to hear
nobody wants to hear
the lies we told
torture again
ill tell you again
that does'nt make it true

engrave stones
burn words into wood
symbols to bone
there will always be
a big fuck you
inside

talk to me of love
how many men
women and children
would you kill
to be back in the arms
of your woman

to be the same after
the exceptions
to the rule
when dark is all
accept it to maintain your humanity
a few beers won't destroy memory
bring you to speak of
removing
your homeboy's teeth
from a charred body
to give the fam closure
cuz you got
some tangos on your 6
can't carry

but you are a god damned patriot
a survivalist
so drink water drive on

good job
mission complete
still the ol lady
been fuckin your best friend
everybody else thinks you are a
terror junkie whore

here comes that darkness again
no bright light
at the end of this tunnel
only crimson stained
red,white and blue

always thought that would be good enough........

might as well re up.....
